NoHo

Nestled just above SoHo’s bustle, NoHo (for “North of Houston Street”) occupies only a few blocks—but proves that sometimes less is more. On the cultural front, the Public Theater is an incubator for edgy productions (including the hit show Hamilton), while the adjoining Joe’s Pub hosts adventurous cabaret-style acts. The rotating Astor Place Cube, near Cooper Union’s undulating steel-and-glass structure, is among the NYC’s quirkiest landmarks, and the bounty of restaurants at the neighborhood’s southern end are among the City’s most acclaimed.

The Hole

A welcome addition to the downtown arts scene, The Hole takes its cues from the pop-art purveyors at Deitch Projects, which shuttered in 2010 when its founder, Jeffrey Deitch, moved west to become the director of Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art.

Nightlife

Duane Park

Located on the East Village/NoHo border, this space exudes elegance while boasting a few surprises; Duane Park is NYC's only burlesque supper club providing a sophisticated and cultured dining experience alongside the only live music and burlesque show in town.

Nightlife

Temple Bar

Sure, this downtown hot spot serves beer, but order a draft and you’ll miss out on one of the outstanding signature Temple cocktails, including the Sgroppino (prosecco, vodka and lemon sorbet) and the Jalapeño Mojito, a hot twist on the old favorite that’s as fiery as it sounds.

Nightlife

Tom & Jerry’s

Tom & Jerry’s takes its name from the vast collection of pottery and glassware displayed just behind the bar—dozens upon dozens of cups, pots and bowls inscribed with the name of the infamous cat-and-mouse duo.

The Library at The Public

The Library, named for the building's original use as the Astor Library, is a central element of the mezzanine level of this landmark edifice at Astor Place (which famously houses downtown performance venue The Public Theater).

Il Buco

Gorgeously appointed with funky chandeliers, mismatched chairs and plenty of well-maintained antiques, Il Buco feels like your Italian great-great-great-grandmother’s house—regardless of whether you have an Italian granny or not.
